    Yes, fight this with all the energy you can muster. Anything less is capitulation.

    It would be horribly irresponsible for the Asheville City Council to not resist this by every means available.

    where’s the love and sharing from the ‘ALL ONE’ crowd ? Hmm???

    Have ANY of you asked City Council why they REFUSED to negotiate NOR accept the $57 MILLION offer from MSD ??? that’s $57 MILLION city missed out on.

    democrat ‘leadership’ is an oxymoron.

    Please be sure to mention as many double entendre poopy/doo-doo references at said City Council meeting for a small mistake made by a contractor with the French Broad River.

    For style points, Hercules’ 7th labor was cleaning out the Augean stables.
